How can I export all my Terminal.app settings from one Mac to another?
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Terminal.plist
contains Terminal settings.
You can view the file (if you want to) with Property List Editor
, part of Apple's developer tools. Copy it to to your other machine to take your settings with you.
You can also export one Settings
entry in Terminal by selecting Shell
, Export Settings...
, or by pressing the cog button below the list in Terminal Preferences
, Settings
and choosing Export...
.
Copying the com.apple.Terminal.plist works very well. Be sure, however, to NOT have Terminal running when you copy the file as it will overwrite it when it exits.
